I do wonder how effective this would be if for example a multinational can simply withdraw from Belgium or even the EU :-( Even if the argument was made that it was more efficient or at least not less efficient than the status quo, a lot of these companies have a very heavy US-biased view on work-life-balance (see for for example the current RTO initiatives as well).

Also note that they reference inflation, but this ‘only’ impacts this place by means of wage cost. The HQ is being relocated to a place with ‘better’ conditions (in the EU for now, but mainly Poland).
